The New York Youth Strike for Climate
Justice
Four million protesters around the globe, led by youth,
declared the time has come for action on climate change. Two hundred and fifty
thousand marched and rallied in New York and we’re Building Bridges to those
exuberant youth activists who led the way, and we all—young and old and
everywhere in between—followed. We’re building bridges and fighting alongside
the student leaders of the US Youth Climate Strike, the organizers of the
Sunrise Movement, and other climate-focused groups to push the climate crisis
into the center of the 2020 debate and propel the bold vision of a Green New
Deal in Congress and across the country. Friday, Sept 20th was incredible—a
vision of people power around the world—and we’ll bring you the highlights from
the rally stage and from the throngs who took to the streets – nay took over the
streets to leave you as inspired as it left us, and we’re betting as a result
you’ll be ready to do more
